Adobe PhotoShop Elements & Premiere Elements

Adobe PhotoShop Elements & Premiere Elements

My oldest son started high school this year which is crazy to me, but good for him because he has been able to take classes that hold more interest for him than others. One of the classes he is taking is a computer class where they use Adobe Photoshop and learn how to make better photos and graphics. Until this class none of us had used Adobe Photoshop. Well, it didn’t take long before he was asking me to buy him the program so he could use it at home for his YouTube gaming channel, ShamBam. Lucky for him Best Buy offered me the chance to try out Adobe PhotoShop Elements + Premiere Elements around this same exact time!

My son was so happy I got Adobe for him that he was willing to do a tutorial for me. Here is his tutorial on how to make channel art for YouTube with Adobe PhotoShop Elements.

So far I’ve been using Elements to help me make quick graphics. Like this one I did for our gift guide for boys. I find it much faster to use Adobe Elements for these types graphics than some of the other programs I’ve been using. Instead of having to down load and save a picture of each item I wanted to add to the graphic, I could just search in google images for what I wanted and then drag and drop it onto a blank space. It was so fast and easy. I thought it turned out pretty good for my first try!
